Jagjit Singh Dallewal, who is on a hunger strike at the Khanauri border area of Punjab-Haryana over farmers' demands, is in critical condition. He has been fasting for the past 27 days.

Meanwhile, Dr. Swaiman's team has raised concerns over the health report submitted by the Punjab government to the Supreme Court regarding Dallewal's condition.

According to Dr. Swaiman, the Punjab government described Dallewal as completely healthy in its report to the Supreme Court. He questioned how someone who has not eaten for 27 days could be considered healthy, stating that even a child can understand the contradiction.

Dr. Swaiman further alleged that politics is being played with Dallewal's life. His team also noted that Dallewal's fear of infection has increased due to his weakened condition.
